Argo Entertainment Center and Cable Car (Viewing Platform in Batumi)

| Georgia | 36 seen

By saying Argo Entertainment Center and Cable car I wanted actually to say - Batumi viewing platform. As this place is located at the other end of Batumi Aerial tram ropeway, and from here a spectacular view towards Batumi bay can be seen.

There is a small lovely church located next to the station building.Inside the building there are small cafeteria.

I have headed here especially for taking lovely sunset photography, the ride price in cable car 10 GEL (as of 2016). Speaking of actual entertainment here, I can't name anything than just a small cafeterias and few paid binoculars, but here is what gobatumi.com has to say about it:

Entertaining center Argo is located on Anuria Mountain, 250 meters high from the sea level. The complex offers spectacular views of Batumi, the Black Sea and the surrounding mountains. The center comprises restaurants, cafes, retail shops, open air halls, podium and roof terraces as well. The building is designed using Argo symbols, the ship by which mythical Jason and Argonauts sailed to Kolchida. Entertaining center also includes the cable car as the main connecting line with the town. Visitors use the telfer to reach the Argo, which makes their journey joyful and exiting, giving them the chance to get pleasure from unique panoramic views of the town and enjoy the trip. Entertaining center and cable car Argo have already become one of the most visited tourist attractions of the region.

I can only agree on that this is one of the most popular tourist attractions in vicinity.
